I’m with Josh on CS Lewis. 2 other influential authors in my life: A.W. Tozer and Andrew Murray. Can you tell I LOVE the classics? There is so much meat/depth to them. I’ve yet to read Guyon; her book is still on my shelf waiting for me.

Of recent years, Dallas Willard, Beth Moore, but my favorites are from past centuries like Andrew Murray, Watchman Nee, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, Amy Carmichael, John of the Cross, Hannah Whitall Smith, etc. Wisdom for all time.

Of late, it’s been the Message Bible Remix. More for the ease of readability and entertainment value (yes, entertainment… our God is a funny God and the best Storyteller I know!). Aside from that, Shel Silverstein (Where the Sidewalk Ends)… There’s more to be had in this collection than meets the eye!
